Well it’s Thanksgiving eve and you know what that means-cleaning, cooking, shopping, cooking, and did I mention cooking? While the eve of Thanksgiving may be one of the biggest bar nights of the year and a highly anticipated night for many, I find myself slaving away in the kitchen-and I’m actually proud of it. Since […]

The other day, I was venturing off to yet another day at the library to study for my law exam. And, knowing me and the caffeine addict that I am, I stopped to get some coffee before my day in “jail.” However, my morning coffee dose wasn’t nearly as pleasant as I would have expected.

So, I know a lot of you guys out there aren’t huge breakfast fanatics. After all, why spend time and extra cals in the morning when you can easily survive off a Mocha Frappucino, right? Actually, that is far from the truth. Breakfast actually gets our metabolism going for the day, so you will feel

It seems like you’ve developed a little case of the weight loss plateau, something that happens when your body gets used to a workout. Our bodies are very efficient systems in that they

Just this past year, I have become extremely fond of the exotic dish: sushi. Before this year, I envisioned it as some scary, foreign raw “thing” that I would never dare place inside my mouth. However, after having a taste, I’ve become completely in love. The only question is: does our diet love this exotic

1. Blueberry-picking season has begun. 2. The ol’ grill is now back in action (from steaks, to pork chops, to kebobs) 3. The fireflies are out again…and yes it’s ok if you still hold onto that inner child and catch a few at night. 4. Tanning season is here…therefore women can finally put self-tanners (yuck,
